Avalanche at Jackson Hole?

The word around the resort today is that a patroller was caught in an avalanche at Jackson Hole today. The lifts are experiencing a 2-3+ hour delay in opening. I hope everything is okay and our rotten snowpack heals it's self soon. We have seen more than enough slide activity in the past two years.

Update: JH Underground has the scoop.

It appears to be serious...please send positive thoughts to the patrol today.

B757

Flew in to JAC on a Delta flight with 175 seats with 25 passengers. It has been a while since I had such an empty flight.

I wonder how much money Delta lost on this flight? It was full today on the return to SLC which helps balance out the loss.

A good read. If we spend $180B, why not support a program to help the auto industry, local dealers, reduce our gas consumption...all of which is a fraction of the bank bailout cost.

Besides, we all own part of the auto industry now.
